gestational diabetes

Has anyone had to take the three hour glucose test yet? I took the first one yesterday and failed. Shocker! I had gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy but wouldn't be surprise if I had it again... Anyways I forget if you can drink water prior to the test. I am so thirsty!!

You can not drink anything or eat anything before the test. Trust me I know. I tried to drink some water after I drank the juice and all my 3 hr tests were high. I thought it might dilute it but I was wrong. It didn't affect the test at all. So next time I will drink some water because it won't affect the test. They only check ur blood glucose levels.

I have to take the one hour in two weeks. I dread it. My doctor recommended it to me because I have PCOS and am predisposed to gestational diabetes (in addition to type 2). She wants to be proactive to head off any GD down the line.

They do the test early if you previously had gestational diabetes. I survived the test! Meant to check my results before I left work yesterday but I was to busy! I knew you couldn't have anything prior to the test, but couldn't remember if you could drink water during test... That's a big no!

I have taken it about a month ago and I was advised I could have water but had to fast from everything else. The thing for me was if it was over 95 on the first hour, I didn't have to continue. I failed miserably and have to check 4x/day plus take meds. It was much worse for me this time around. :( Good luck to u!

I took one Monday! I hate it!! I haven't heard any news on my results so I'm assuming they are negative since my dr is very on top of things. Hope you have an easy time doing it! My place told me you could drink VERY small amounts if water if absolutely necessary

I'll have the one hour glucose testing in a week. With my son I failed the first test by one point and they made me do the three hour. When I went to the facility to do it they said I could walk around and drink some water if I got nausea. When I had to do it in the third trimester the facility I went to said I couldn't drink anything and not to walk around. I think it depends on where you go...
